The Washington Township Substation promotes traffic safety through enforcement, deterrence and education. A traffic officer is trained to respond to the scene of vehicular accidents and to provide thorough accident reconstruction reports.

Motorcycle - The township's motorcycle improves traffic enforcement with its low profile, while its size and maneuverability enable it to respond quickly to traffic accidents where vehicles block the scene. The motorcycle also helps connect police to the community by making the officer riding it more approachable.

Speed Enforcement

Speed Board - When residents express a concern about speeders on their streets, the MCSO substation positions a trailer with a speed board in the neighborhood. The speed board monitors vehicle speed and serves as a friendly reminder for motorists.
